On July 31 95 Democrats voted for the final debt ceiling bill.

So there it is. More Democrats wanted a clean bill than a bill with cuts included. aka Democrats didn't want ANY cuts at all.
And keep in mind that we were downgraded due to the fact that our cuts weren't large enough.
So had the Democrats gotten their way we still would have had a downgrade.
Meanwhile, if the Republicans had gotten what they wanted for and what the passed in the house TWO times then we wouldn't have gotten a downgrade.
So who do you blame? The party that wanted the cuts, or the party that didn't?
